Who Benefits Most From Participation in Business Policy Simulations: An Empirical Study of Skill Development by Functional Area
Abstract
Henry Mintzberg [5] defines a set of ten roles and eight skills common to all managerial performance. This paper reports a study of a business policy simulation designed to determine if students have sufficient opportunities to perform the ten roles and whether the opportunities are related to simulation roles. Perceived skill development was obtained and tested for any relationship to simulation role. Results indicate that students have sufficient opportunity to perform managerial roles and there is a relationship between opportunities and simulation role. However, there is no relationship between perceived skill development and simulation role.Downloads
